6 month old w/ belly button scabs?

Brittany • wife to henry, mama to norah + chloe

Hi ladies, first time mom here. I just happen to notice yesterday that my 6 month old daughter has like left over umbilical cord scabs in her belly button? I know, it’s gross. I thought I was scrubbing her belly button good in the bathtub. BUT I can’t get them out! 🙈 I’ve tried a dry q-tip, wet q-tip, and soaking it! Has anyone else come across this gross discovery with their baby? How did you get the scabs out?

Picture for attention.
